    Meh, it is another solid-state-battery gimmick.

    Solid-state batteries are very difficult to manufacture, and they don't cycle well. Performance improvements are also becoming more incremental with the standard batteries advancing.

    I will wait until the major players like Toyota, QuantumScape, and Samsung start making solid-state batteries, but even then, I don't expect major entry into the market until 2035.
